demand upon the forests but has
merely replaced normal domestic
consumption of lumbar.
It is true that the war-demand for
quality lumber is greatly in excess
of normal. But this is off-set to a
considerable extent by advances in
wood-using technology so that the net
forest drain remains about the same.
However, (it must be admitted that the
consumption of fine old-growth tim­
ber for veneer purposes has drawn
heavily upon this irreplaceable re-
source and only by sharply increased

will be the lumber-board manufqp-
ture which will make synthetic boards
for building purposes out of waste
lumber.
As the statistics show that heaviest
inroads upon American forests have
occurred when farm and home build­
ing are at a maximum, the lumber
industry can confidently look forward
to a very strong post-war demand
when the pent-up domestic building
program is allowed to assert itself.
The point to note ia^that in spite of
the apparent feverish activity among
saw-mills the war is not requiring as
